The Duchess appeared to gesture she was feeling warm before Princess Beatrice attracted her attention towards something on their right.

Beatrice appeared to point out something at the altar, which turned her mother's head and took her mind off the other guests.

The 58-year-old, who looked radiant in a vibrant green dress and hat, was joined by Princess Beatrice, who is her sister's maid of honour.

It appeared as if Beatrice's role was less about helping her sister Eugenie, but taking care of her mother Fergie, who has had a strained relationship with other members of the Royal Family since her split from Prince Andrew and a series of tabloid scandals.

She was reportedly "a bag of nerves" before the big day, but the Duchess appeared in good spirits as she arrived outside St George's Chapel - clearly excited to be at the wedding.

As she got out of the car, the Duchess of York rushed to hug a member of the public as she arrived at St George's Chapel for the second royal wedding of the year.

Leaving her elder daughter, Princess Beatrice, waiting briefly as the pair emerged from a car outside the chapel at Windsor Castle to cheers from onlookers, Sarah Ferguson greeted family friend Jessie Huberty.

The mother-of-the-bride was also understood to be worried about a “frosty” reception from her former brother-in-law Prince Charles after his wife, Camilla, decided to snub 28-year-old Princess Eugenie’s big day.

Prince Andrew’s ex-wife was blacklisted by members of the firm back in 1992 when pictures emerged of the redhead receiving a toe-sucking from oil tycoon John Bryan.

But she appeared happy and relaxed when she arrived at St George's Chapel in Windsor for her daughter’s royal wedding to 32-year-old Jack Brooksbank and was seen breathing a comical sigh of relief as she eventually made her way to her seat.
